In 1994, <em> The Wall Street Journal</em> published an article called "Dying for Milk: Some Mother's Trying in Vain to Breast-Feed, Starve Their Infants." Chaz Floyd was one of those infants. He may not have died from insufficient milk syndrome, but it did take his life. His mother spent a lot of time arguing with and praying to God. What happened to Chaz was purely preventable, if only doctors and nurses had listened when the first-time mom said that she felt like "<em>something was wrong</em>," and that she felt like "<em>he wasn't getting enough.</em>"</p><p><br></p><p><em>"Yes, a child may need six to eight wet diapers a day. But he needs six to eight wringing-wet diapers a day. That is the keyword. Wringing. Chaz's diapers were damp. Just damp. Not wringing wet."</em></p><p><br></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Pamula Floyd writes from her gut, the same gut that told her she knew better than any pediatrician or expert what her newborn baby needed. <em>Mother Knows Best</em> reminds new mothers to always trust their gut instincts and warns of the dangers of not trusting new mothers . . ."</p><p><strong>-Kelly Sokol</strong>, Author of <em>The Unprotected</em></p><p><br></p><p>"Pam describes the harrowing experience of a parent who witnesses the starvation and dehydration of a previously healthy baby . . .
